In my opinion, the minilites gives car a sporty younger look. The steels with shiny hub caps would be the more mature choice. My grandad would have picked hub caps, with his flat checked cap, tartan scarf and matching flask, along with driving gloves and a light right foot. I would pick minilites, , puffa jacket, beanie hat, buff, and wrap around black Raybands, with a heavy right foot.

so I’m somewhere between you and your grandad. I have a beanie hat but have some thin leather gloves which give great grip on the wooden wheel. And I definitely have a heavy right foot 🦶
I do love the look with the steels but think I will fit the minilites for a few months and see if the car makes me smile when I see it
